The day has finally arrived. The last week has been a rat race for me, finishing up school, packing up my house that I have lived in for the last three years, preparing my trailer for the ride and trying to put in some miles on my bike between all of the madness. So I am out in Seattle now. My friend Sam will be dropping me off in Anacortes tonight, where I will be camping. I will begin the ride first thing tomorrow morning. The first week looks like it will be a tough one, going through the cascades, and allot of big climbs. There is limited restaurants and grocery stores for the first part which makes me a little nervous. It looks like it is going to be quite the adventure which was the plan. I am going to try and keep everyone updated through my website as often as possible. Internet usage my be limited in some parts of the country. Please leave me comments. It would be nice to hear from everyone as I am biking across the country solo. You can leave a comment by clicking on the orange title of each post. I will do my best to respond to your comments. THE ADVENTURE BEGINS!!!!!
P.S The benefit event that I held at the elks lodge (One Big Funkin Dance Party) turned out to be a success. There were 350 guests there and it seemed everyone enjoyed the bowling and the live music. Thanks to the elks lodge for their $500 donation to Big City Mountaineers!!!!

Yo Adam, safe travels my friend. Just got back from BWCAW and caught the biggest fish (8lb northern) which is cool for a city boy...
Sounds like you may need some tips on fixing a flat, make sure your pump is set for the correct stem type (schrader or presto)!...
Keep those wheels spinnin and enjoy the journey...
Peace Brah...
Walter
